[mythtvnz] DVB-S (was Re: Quality of WinTV PVR 150)

Tortise, you will probably find your dish requires a small adjustment to 
it's elevation angle, I have found a lot of earlier $ky dishes to be not 
as precisely aligned as they otherwise should be.  I have two 20cm 
dishes under a clear polycarbonate roofing and get no pixelation.  S=74, 
BER=0.0
